Challenge

The gender disparities in secondary education remain a major challenge in Uganda. The percentage of girls in secondary schools has stabilized around 46% since 2006 and now reducing towards 45%. While the completion rate of girls at senior 4 stands is only 32%. The situation is worse in Sironko rural areas where socio-cultural factors like poverty, preference for boys, huge orphaned-girls, domestic chores, circumcision, early marriages and teenage pregnancies make the girl child disadvantaged.

Long-Term Impact

The project will grantee the best possible education performance for unprivileged 300 girls in Uganda while empowering them to became self-reliance citizens. This will reduce gender disparities and foster achievement of Millennium Development Goals.
